Official representatives of the Blackfoot Nation of Canada will be visiting RAMM to offer their knowledge about sacred regalia held by the museum. This is the first time it has been accessed by the Blackfoot Nation in 130 years. It is special because it was once owned by Isapo-muxika (Crow Indian’s Big Foot or Crowfoot) an important Blackfoot leader at a time when Canada was being created using their land. Through colonial hands the regalia was sold to the museum in 1904.
This lecture will present a Blackfoot history of Crowfoot and the effects this has on Blackfoot people today...

Share in the wonder that objects and their stories can arouse. Inspired by the early Cabinets of Curiosity, local people display their own collections of objects to represent their lives, past and present, and their aspirations for the future.
In creating these displays, Exeter’s Youth Inclusion and Support Team, young people, parents, carers and others discovered how objects and their stories can help connect us to other times and places, understand how our world became the place it is and help us find our own place in it.
What objects would tell the story of your life?...
